First and foremost, we want everyone to know that this is still Envious Magic, and it always will be. There have been changes to the site and URL in the past, but it has always been [EM] and we plan to keep it that way. There were many factors which influenced this decision, and we hope you, our beloved members, will understand. Even if things are a bit different, the members have always come first here at Envious Magic, and that is certainly one thing we don’t plan on changing. One of the biggest reasons which influenced the shift includes the preservation of the Envious Magic we all know and love. Although there have been changes in the past, and previous periods of site inactivity, this lapse of time seemed a bit too great for a simple reopening. Instead, we wanted to preserve the site in its prime, from before it went offline; we didn't want the previous Administrators’ hard work to be completely lost in the wayside of the changing tides. By continuing to have the original site open but read-only, we can keep the old skin (created by the wonderful Sherz) and our archived section of old posts in A Trip Down Memory Lane. Having the archive on the InvisionFree server, but moving the main roleplaying area to our new URL also helps the Administrators work more efficiently. This means that any time changes need to be made from now on, they can be done so more quickly, without having to shut the site down or pause activity, meaning a better RP experience for everyone as a whole. We’re aware it has been a long time since Envious Magic was last open. For that, we apologize, and we would love to keep it from happening again. Since the site went offline, we know that many have lost track of, or even interest in, old accounts and characters. We feel this is a good place that everyone can make a fresh start, on a clean slate, if they feel the need. (Of course, this is not the only option. If you want to keep your old character/year please PM one of us or post saying so here.) On that note, by moving to the Zetaboards server, we feel that we can kickstart [EM] and make it a thriving place once again. It will still be largely the same, with our sortings, lessons, graduating, freedom to RP however you want, and more. We plan to bring back a lot of the old systems that everyone once knew and loved, too (but we’re keeping some of those a secret for now ). We hope you’ll feel the familiarity of Envious Magic that we’ve tried to instill here, and hope that we can all move forward in this together!So, what do you all think? Please share your thoughts with us, no matter what they are. If you absolutely love it, hate it, or anywhere between feel free to let us know (and why, if you can)! We only ask that you perhaps give this place a chance, and see if you can come to like it first. Thank you so much!
